To generate a structured design document instead of code, use a phase-driven workflow that gathers context, challenges premises, evaluates alternatives, and outputs a shareable design draft with clear success criteria.

The best way to frame product-design problems is running guided context gathering and premises challenge phases to extract concrete user needs before transitioning into generating a formal design document.

A phase-based workflow shapes ideas by progressing sequentially through context gathering, mode guidance, premises challenge, and alternatives evaluation, ultimately producing a final design draft tailored for stakeholders.

Yes, you need YAML frontmatter containing the project name and description to initialize the structured design session and activate the phase-driven workflow.

Yes, you can use this guided workflow for YC office-hours partner sessions to ensure problems are fully understood and to generate formal design documents for founders without executing implementation tasks.

The main limitation of generating a design doc instead of code is that the workflow strictly focuses on problem framing and design documentation, outputting zero implementation tasks or executable code.
